Costume hire for Manchester school productions
Manchester is a stage city — from the touring musicals at the Palace Theatre and the Opera House to the work at The Lowry in Salford Quays, young performers here grow up surrounded by the real thing. Sugar Plum Costumes helps your school match that ambition with a complete, hand-finished show wardrobe, without the cost of building or buying it.
We’re a Blackpool studio, about 50 miles up the M6 and M61, so Manchester is a courier-led service for us — and we’ve built it to be effortless. You send a cast list with measurements, we pull, fit and pack the whole show per character, and it arrives at your school labelled and stage-ready. Schools from Didsbury and Chorlton to Sale, Stretford and the city centre book us this way every season.
Grease, Hairspray, Matilda, Little Shop of Horrors — principals and ensemble, sized to your cast.

FAQs · Manchester
Manchester school musical costume hire — your questions
Do you cover Manchester if you’re based in Blackpool?
Yes. Manchester is about 50 miles from our studio, so we run it as a courier service — we pack the full show wardrobe and send it tracked to your school. It’s how most of our Greater Manchester schools work with us.
How do measurements work without a fitting visit?
We send a simple one-page measurement sheet your drama lead can complete in one rehearsal. We pull and fit every costume against those sizes and pack per character, so it’s stage-ready on arrival.
Can a Manchester school still collect from you?
Of course — you’re welcome to collect from our Blackpool studio (about an hour up the M61/M6) if you’d prefer. Most schools find the courier option simpler.
